with Townsend Saunders, Olympic Silver Medalist;2x All American and 2x Pac 12 Champion at Arizona State University;1987 NCAA D-II National Champ (Cal State Bakersfield)

Finally, wrestling DVD that features games and drills for those who coach elementary-level wrestlers! Townsend Saunders demonstrates over 10 wrestling drills and games that are designed to create a fast-paced practice that will help develop proper technique while keeping the practice atmosphere fun. Saunders divides this instructional DVD into four parts: Warm-up, Drills, Games, and Live Wrestling. Each segment features elementary-aged wrestlers demonstrating technique during a live practice. The drills cover technique for singles, doubles, duck unders and more. The games include Sharks and Minnows, Queen Bee, Knot Pull and more. These games and drills have been proven effective in keeping young wrestler's attention, while building strong fundamentals.

While this DVD contains some good ideas, it is a big waste of time and money. Watching kids run for 15 minutes of a 45 minute video? You only needed to show a couple of minutes at the most while you showed the various runs and tumbles you make them do. Do we really need to waste this much time on such a short video showing kids do sit-ups and push-ups? It is almost exploitative that you charge $40 for this video. Very disappointed!
